What is this bond?

A Washington Gas Light Company (WGLC) utility deposit bond is a financial guarantee used in place of a cash deposit for gas services in Virginia. It guarantees that the customer will pay their utility bills on time and in full as agreed. If the customer defaults on their payments, WGLC can make a claim against the bond to recover the unpaid funds.

Who needs it?

Commercial businesses and high-volume residential customers opening new gas service accounts with Washington Gas Light Company typically need this bond. It is primarily utilized by those who prefer to keep their working capital fluid rather than tying it up in a large, upfront cash deposit.

Why is it required?

WGLC requires this bond to protect themselves from financial loss if a customer fails to pay for the gas services they consume. By having a bond in place, the utility company ensures a guaranteed source of reimbursement for unpaid bills. This financial protection helps the utility maintain stable rates by preventing losses from defaulting accounts.
